4 Using the Module
4.1 BIOS
The Cool LiteRunner-LX800 is delivered with a Insyde Technology XpressROM BIOS. The default
setting guarantees a "ready to run" system, even without a BIOS setup backup battery.
The BIOS is located in flash memory and can be easily updated on board with software under DOS.
All setup changes of the BIOS are stored in the CMOS RAM. A copy of the CMOS RAM, excluding date
and time, is stored in the flash memory. This means that even if the backup battery runs out of
power, the BIOS settings are not lost. Only date and time will be reset to their default value.
The soldered battery will keep that information over 3 years without any activation of the board.
That depends on the use of the board. When power is up, the battery does not lose capacity.
With the Jumper "Battery", see chapter 2.2, the battery can be disconnected from the system.
Because of the flash storage in the BIOS the settings will keep their information after.
Except the Real Time Clock will not be up to date.
If the board should be stored for longer times, this is the best solution to save the capacity.
The battery loses 1% of its capacity over self-discharge per year without the jumper.
Configuring the XpressROM BIOS
Pressing <F1> on power up starts the BIOS setup utility.
On the screen there are three separated parts:
TOP
The part shows information over the current BIOS version. In brackets the name of the associate
bin-file can be found. On the right side is the date when the file was built.
MIDDLE
Here are the different menus listed.
BOTTOM
A short information about the content of the selected menu is shown.
